A mom of five children adopted her neighbor’s three kids after she died from cancer. Now, they had to squeeze 10 family members into what was an already crowded house. But one day, when they came back home, they got the shock of a lifetime and everyone was left in tears…

Audrey and Tisha were typical neighbors; they knew each other but just in a friendly, neighborly way. Audrey was a single mother of three, while Tisha lived with her husband, Kevin Beauchmin, and their five children.

Audrey and Tisha’s kids were close to the same age and their girls would often play together, including the occasional sleepover.

So one day, when Audrey had a doctor’s appointment to undergo some tests, she asked if her three kids could spend the night at Tisha’s home. Tisha said yes but never expected that both families’ lives would soon change forever.

Audrey was diagnosed with stage 2 esophageal stomach cancer. But her situation quickly turned grim. Stage 2 cancer turned to stage 4 cancer, and it had spread to her liver and kidneys. With time against her, she asked Tisha if she would become the legal guardian of her three kids after she died.

Tisha, who herself had been brought up in an orphanage, would not allow Audrey’s three children to experience what she had gone through. So, without hesitation, she granted her neighbor’s request.

“I had to go into a foster home, and I don’t want them to ever have to deal with anything I had to deal with when I was a child, because children deserve to be children,” she told FOX 5.

“They’ve been through too much. They deserve a loving family and a place to call home.”

Audrey passed away just two weeks after returning home from the hospital.

Two families merged into one. Tisha and Kevin along with eight kids in all became a family of 10. Originally, their family had been able to just squeeze into their house, but now, with three more members, it was more than just a tight fit. Their eldest son was sleeping on the living room couch, while their second eldest daughter was sleeping in a makeshift room in the kitchen.

In order for the family to legally adopt Audrey’s kids, they would have to put up a wall to create an extra room in the loft.

It was just before Christmas, however, that Las Vegas’s Fox 5 Surprise Squad, who had been tipped off by a concerned neighbor, decided to step in to give the Beauchmins a hand. They offered to put up that wall free of charge, and Tisha was left in tears. What they really did, however, was give the family the shock of a lifetime!

Surprise Squad, alongside generous members of the community, did something that would change this family’s life and bring tears of joy to everyone, from family members to Fox news reporters.
